“The Mennonite Central Committee, the Quakers, the World Council of Churches, Religions for Peace and the American Friends Service Committee are sponsoring an Iftar dinner meeting with Islamo-Nazi, anti-Semite President Ahmadinejad of Iran in New York City.” September 25, 2008.
“Hezbollah recently purchased 3,000 missiles and RPGs from Russia’s Bazalt. Tehran paid for the weapons.” Debka, November 2, 2008.
“Iranian state-run media announced the testing of long- and medium-range missiles, including the Shahab-3, which is able to hit targets up to 1,250 miles away.” November 12, 2008.
Weeks ago, a misguided group of appeasement-at-any-cost, left wing socialists broke bread with Mahmoud “Little Adolf” Ahmadinejad, President of Iran and avowed enemy of Israel and the United States. Of all the political and religious leaders with whom they could discuss matters of world peace, they chose to honor Hitler’s best understudy--a man who openly brags about wiping Israel off the face of the map. Neville Chamberlain would be proud of these folks.
Little Hitler’s visit to the United States and breakfast with these smarmy appeasers served no good purpose. Its only effect was to give this most virulent of all anti-Zionists and active promoter of jihad a high profile forum and raise his standing among jihadists worldwide a couple notches. A master at employing Hitler’s “big lie” propaganda methods, Little Hitler denies that the Holocaust ever happened and--to add sacrilege to insult--held a conference to ridicule the theory that the Holocaust ever happened. He also gave prizes for the best anti-Israel and funniest Holocaust cartoons. If he is not the Devil incarnate, he is, at the very least, Hitler’s most apt pupil, and the world’s most dangerous man. Thank God the breakfast group was not in charge of repelling the Nazi advance in Europe or fighting the war against Japan. Had they been, we would all be speaking German today. Unfortunately, there is evil in the world and the group breaking the fast with Little Hitler decided not to fight Evil, but to feed it.
Recently, Israeli intelligence sources note that the terrorist group Hezbollah went on a shopping spree. It seems that they purchased three thousand missiles and an untold number of RPG-2s from Russia’s Bazalt--famous for its military weaponry. Bazalt is especially good at manufacturing the particular sort of rocket propelled grenades designed to knock out Israeli tanks and missiles designed to be fired at peaceful Israeli villages. When the United States protested the sale, Russia politely noted our concern …then sold them anyway. Who picked up the tab for this excursion? The Devil himself.
Just this week Little Hitler bragged that he has tested his new toy which is capable of reaching Israel, other Middle Eastern countries which he may want to intimidate, and United States interests in the Middle East. It seems there is no end to his mischief. Little Hitler--who does not run Iran, but seems un-tethered by the religious autocrats who do--continues to raise the level of international tension and risk a dangerous provocation of Israel, the object of his threats.
In the face of this most dangerous threat to world peace, the world has done nothing. Europe--whose leaders are afraid of their own radical Muslim population--is frozen with fear and will take no concerted or effective action to stop Little Hitler, just as they took none against his hero in the 1930s. The United States will take likely take no effective action--now that Obama is elected--and Little Hitler knows this. The IAEA recently reported that Iran has refused to comply with requests to inspect its nuclear program, Iran’s assurances that its program is only peaceful notwithstanding. So, the world does nothing while the world’s greatest supporter of terrorism and ardent enemy of Israel, brags that he has a rifle to the head of Israel and plans to shoot.
Our friend and ally, Israel, is a small but powerful island of democracy, industriousness, peace, and prosperity in a boiling cauldron of religious fanaticism, hatred, and ignorance that is the Middle East. After fighting for independence, it has overcome every obstacle, and faced and defeated the united armies of all its Arab neighbors. It has defended itself against bombs, missiles and groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah--whose charters openly vow to destroy the State of Israel. And, despite this all--with little help from the outside world--Israel survives. God bless them. Theirs is an example that we Americans should emulate because we have forgotten the spirit of sacrifice that made us great. We know no adversity here; we have no enemy armies or terrorist groups on our borders. We do not live with an M-16 at our side; we do not have universal conscription or even universal service.
Other than our brave men and women in the armed forces and our brave police and firefighters, few of us wake up in the morning worrying that we might have to mobilize this day to fight our hostile neighbors, or terrorists who infiltrate our borders. Israel has persevered despite all odds and thrived in a region where some people prefer to live in the 7th century, study the Koran, and kill anyone whose religious beliefs differ from their own. Israel is a leader in agriculture, manufacturing, and information technology. Their military and intelligence services are second to none. Israel, above all nations, understands the concept of uniting in common sacrifice for the preservation of the country. Sadly, many Americans understand neither unity, nor sacrifice, nor the importance of defending our way of life.
Israel is not to be trifled with; nor should it be expected to live under the threat of nuclear annihilation from the insane leader of the world’s largest exporter of terror, who openly boasts of annihilating Israel. Israel may not long suffer such fools. The United Nations is a farce and can only be counted on to pass meaningless resolutions which threaten no one. Clearly, Russia has no intention of agreeing to any punitive resolutions against Iran and neither does China--Iran's other big power patron. The IAEA seems powerless to do anything about Iran’s nuclear ambitions. The United States--especially under an Obama administration--cannot be counted upon to use or even threaten the use of hard military power anywhere. And, if the Ayatollahs who actually run Iran are unwilling to muzzle Little Hitler--which seems to be the case--then they are tacitly approving his dangerous rhetoric, which may render war inevitable.
Therefore, it is left to Israel to do what it always does: whatever it takes to survive. If the world does nothing to protect Israel from annihilation, then Israel will do so itself. And who can blame it? When a lunatic points a rifle at your head and promises to shoot you, waiting to see if he does is simply not an option.
I am anxious to see how our new President handles this most delicate and dangerous situation. I hope he remembers who our friends are and who they are not. It remains to be seen whether President Obama too will dine with the Devil or confront him.
